I didn't know that hand and toe warmers would be necessary kit to be packed for a football match ever before!:cool:
Or maybe even those tennis racket things people put in their feet to get through the snow.
1. This was a really bad premiership defence.
2. We have a top 10 draft pick to go fishing for Kelly &/or Lever.
3. We have 22 premiership heroes, but that was last year. Decisions for next year have to be about where we currently are.
1. If we don't improve our skill level we won't be anywhere near the 8 next year
2. Dale can be a very dangerous player for us next year
3. We need a mini list rebuild; Morris, Boyd, Murphy, Dickson to go with Picken and Cloke not far behind.
Not sure about Dickson and Picken , and if you got rid of every player who has had down years , we'd be left with about 4 players .
Dickson played maybe 1 decent game all year and is 30 next year from memory.Quote:

1. The efforts just been to inconsistent through the year .
2. To many players down, and not enough contributors.Lack of even effort
3. Big decisions in the off season .
Dickson's barely played , and looks underdone . Turning 30 is irrelevantQuote:

Had a bad year . Should we list every player who's had a poor year? You can't discard everyone , as they are contracted .Quote:

Dale is our new Dickson....quicker, better skills, and prove he can take a mark and kick a goal.
Tori has had a shocker, injuries and form.
Yes, it's a hard decision.
He played 9 games this yearQuote:

3. Roughy is struggling to hold down the ruck position. Assuming Campbell will not get to the next level, we may need to prioritise a search for our own Jarrod Witts, Nathan Vardy type for 2018, to give Tom English enough time to develop without breaking him.
I thought Clokey was really good today. Today we saw what he can do without all the weight Collingwood had on him. He looked agile, was tackling hard and getting the ball at ground level with two very good goals, and 1cm of another third running/snap goal. I'm filthy on Ziebell because he's finally put two good games in the Bevo made role but too late to change anything.Quote:
